Responsibilities

Senior Technical Program Manager for our Space Special Programs business line.

The Technical Program Manager will lead day-to-day execution of program initiatives and tasks - working with the Head of Programs, the Head of Operations, and the rest of the Business Operations team to manage the budget and schedule, as well as with the customer, and the GM to satisfy the technical objectives while meeting all of the contractual requirements.

This role is directly tied to a series of on-going orbital programs and active pursuits across Anduril's Space Special Programs Business Line.

These programs require executing on multiple space system development and delivery contracts along with capture efforts across multiple dynamic space operations missions.

Ownership: TPMs are owners; we're looking for those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of performance.

Lead the project from start to finish with the customer and the engineering team.

Team

In the Space Special Programs team, we build spacecraft and space systems which serve a wide variety of functions in the space architecture. At a time when space superiority can no longer be taken for granted and with space systems proliferating at an incredible rate, the Space Special Programs team provides advanced, mission critical capabilities to our customer base to be able to more effectively operate and survive within this expanding environment with limited personnel. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Space Special Programs team develops, tests, deploys, and operates new, unique, space capabilities to drive mission success in challenging operational environments.
